Miguel Cabrera all time great career HOF numbers tracker

Tigers veteran Miguel Cabrera will turn 40 years old in April, shortly after beginning the final guaranteed season of the mega extension he signed back in 2014. Though he?s not quite the hitter he was back then, he?s still going to be a part of Detroit?s plans next season. ?We expect Miggy to be here,? manager A.J. Hinch tells Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. ?We expect him to do his part in the offseason to prepare himself to be healthy and be productive and be the icon that he is.?

As noted by McCosky, Cabrera?s 2022 got off to a nice start, as he kept his batting average above .300 into July. However, he has slumped badly since then while dealing with various nagging injuries, currently sitting on a batting line of .251/.299/.315 for the year. That production amounts to a wRC+ of 76, or 24% below league average, which is well below Cabrera?s previous low of 92 from 2017.

Going into the season, it seemed as though Cabrera was on the verge of being nudged out of the club?s plans, as they spent aggressively in the offseason to try to compete in 2022. With the promotion of first base prospect Spencer Torkelson, it was fair to wonder if an awkward situation was approaching with the club trying to compete and Miggy standing in the way. Instead, Torkelson and the Tigers both fell way shy of expectations, with the youngster hitting just .197/.281/.301 so far this year and club sporting a record of 64-93.

The fact that Cabrera is still owed $32MM next year doesn?t mean he is immune from being cut from the team if he continues to underperform. Just last year, the Angels designated Albert Pujols for assignment in May while he was playing out the final year of his contract at a $30MM salary. Both Hinch and new president of baseball operations Scott Harris voiced their support for Cabrera being a part of the 2023 club, though how much of a role he gets to play is likely to be determined.

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.

Today, another opportunity for readers to discuss the hottest topics in a forum where thoughtful dialog and a variety of opinions are welcomed.

Let?s create some running conversational threads. And for those of you back in actual offices, here?s a question to take with you ? or use via Zoom ? as you talk to your co-workers.

Here is today?s topic??..

Miguel Cabrera once again confirmed that the 2023 season will be his last.
But he also put words to rumors that he wants to stay with the Tigers? organization after he retires.

He said ?I?ve had a lot of conversation with my family and AJ. I don?t know. We?ll see if I can stay in the organization with the Tigers, help young guys, help their development. I don?t know yet. I have time to decide, but my goal is to stay in baseball, try to help a lot of baseball.?

Miggy has always been known to be a pure hitter, a smart hitter. And over the past several years, he has helped informally coach several Tigers who approached him for advice. To some notable albeit temporary success.
Of course, his work was very limited given that the Tigers had 2 official hitting coaches and their work had to be respected.

But after he retires, should Cabrera stay with the Tigers and help coach players in hitting? Or is it better for both parties to move on?

Should Miguel Cabrera stay with the Tigers as a coach after he retires?

1. Yes, he should stay.

2. No, he should leave.

Miguel Cabrera: 2023 Likely To Be Final Season.
MLBTR

A two-time MVP winner, Cabrera turns 40 in April. He?ll be playing his 16th season in Detroit and he hopes to remain involved with the organization working with younger players after the end of his playing career. As for the 2023 campaign, he indicated his primary personal goal was to remain healthy. He missed a couple weeks late this past season with a biceps strain but appeared in 112 games and tallied 433 plate appearances.

Cabrera had seven top ten MVP finishes in Detroit, including a five-year stretch of consecutive top five placements from 2009-13. Despite his recent struggles, he owns a .306/.383/.517 line since landing with the Tigers over the 2007-08 offseason.

Even with a likely reduced workload next season, the Venezuela native will get a chance to continue climbing the all-time leaderboards.

He ranks 25th with 3088 hits, and he?s certain to pass Ichiro (3089),
Dave Winfield (3110) and Alex Rodriguez (3115) if healthy.

Matching this year?s 101 hits would push him past Tony Gwynn, Robin Yount, Paul Waner, George Brett, Adri?n Beltr? and Cal Ripken Jr. into 16th place.

Cabrera ranks 27th with 507 career home runs, and even part-time work could get him past Gary Sheffield (509), Mel Ott (511), Eddie Mathews and Ernie Banks (512 apiece) to 23rd.
